- Exchange experiences with other job-seekers

- Give their opinion to improve employment & entrepreneurship projects
- Practice their English (basic English required)
- Have fun and get an international boost to get a job

Note: The programme for young job-seekers & their coaches will start early on 17 October afternoon to allow more time for group building.
